College Placement Exams Courses

Prepare for the California State University system math and English language arts placement tests through our fun and engaging study guides. Our mix of brief video lessons and practice problems can help boost your placement scores, which could qualify you for more advanced courses at CSU.

How It Works

Choose a study guide: We offer study guides for the Entry Level Mathematics (ELM) and English Placement Test (EPT) exams, which are required for students enrolling in California State University schools unless they've been exempted through scores from another college-entry assessment, such as the ACT or SAT. Your performances on the ELM and EPT exams dictate what courses you'll be allowed to enroll in at CSU.

Watch fun and engaging videos: Our study guides are the most efficient and effective way to prepare for CSU system placement exams. We've kept our lessons brief, and we've enhanced them with animations, graphics and real-world scenarios to keep you engaged.

Test yourself with practice quizzes and exams: Identify areas where you need additional review by completing the lesson-based quizzes and comprehensive end-of-chapter exams in each study guide.

Get help from our instructors: Our expert instructors are here to answer your questions.

Who Our Courses Are For

Students seeking an alternative to costly on-site prep classes

Why Our Courses Work

Self-paced learning: With a reliable Internet connection and a computer, tablet or mobile device, you can complete your study guide at the time and place that's most convenient for you. This could mean squeezing in a quick lesson on the school bus or setting aside an hour each day to study at home.

Easy tracking of your progress: As a subscriber, you'll have a personal dashboard that tracks your progress through each study guide. This can help you see where you still need to improve.

Access to thousands of online lessons: Before you start at CSU, you might try to test out of some college-level courses, which could save you thousands of dollars! One subscription gives you access to dozens of courses in English, math, science and other subjects that could prepare you to test for credit-by-exam.
